      Weren't sure what I first thought about him changing the lyrics, I mean almost nobody can write better rap lyrics than 2Pac, the man was a people's poet. Then when I listened back again for a second time and heard him sing in aboriginal language and I realised his lyrical changes were so personal to him and his experiences, well, it's just well cool isn't it. Can't really compare him to Tupac, but that's not the point, he's his own artist.

      Your a idiot, if its your opinion put it on your Facebook not in the comments of a song on UA-cam because your leaving yourself open to comments, UA-cam puts 'add a public reply' option for a reason. If you don't like people disagreeing with your ridiculous opinion dont put it in a forum that encourages discussion about peoples comments, and in today's day and age don't put your opinion anywhere in public if you don't want discussion on the matter. Which by the way your opinion is a joke

    So clever lyrically. The way he made it relevant to First Nations culture, referring to coming together, putting faith in the practice and educating the youth - with a silky smooth flow!
    It takes real bravery to touch a rap classic by one of the best there has ever been, but he smashed it. Got my vote in the hottest 100!

    Still I see no changes...and they can never give me a reason.
    They dont wanna hear my side, deny my right to equal.
    So we stuck in a jam takin orders from a man that don't wanna understand my people.
    So who we are fell apart now its darker and harder to see what the use is. But my mind is my weapon imma use it, otherwise I'll lose it, get used for amusement.
    Coz im black when im mad its an overreaction. Not allowed to be drastic but I use it to spark the flame, light it like a matchstick, i know the power of my blackness.
    And I can see the haters racist faces, misplaced hate to all the colour that I came in.
    I know we've made mistakes I pray a change appears. Until it does...
